Project details

In 2010 Artamax completed design of the third version of the menu for the restaurant Trattoria Pomo D'oro.

Pomo D'Oro is a luxury 5-star restaurant located in the downtown of Budapest serving traditional Italian and European dishes. We support this restaurant with our ideas and creative design services since 2003.
New restaurant menu is an absolutely unique and outstanding product!
Main idea we had for this menu: "What would it look like if Leonardo Da Vinci would design a restaurant menu?"

In this menu you might notice following features:

Handmade illustrations of kitchen tools made with closest possible attention to actual Leonardo's own style. These illustrations were drawn with literally the same techniques as his: nut liquid, cut reed, handmade paper.

Menu style based on drwoings in Leonardo's codex.

Renaissance paintings were used to decorate inside pages.

The font used is actually based on Leonardo's handwriting

We looked for the oldest Italian cook books and decorated the pages accordingly, BUT flipped them. That's how Leonardo coded he's contrivances.

Menu cover is a first class buffalo leather with metal elements and imprinted restaurant logo made from cooper.
